Was Jack Sparrow a real pirate?
I'm curious, could you clarify for me if Jack Sparrow, the character portrayed in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, was actually a historical figure or just a fictional creation? I've always been fascinated by pirates and their stories, but I'm not sure if Jack Sparrow is based on a real pirate or if he's purely a product of Hollywood's imagination. Could you shed some light on this for me?
